Hey, no these Continental DWS 06's are quite good in snow, not sure why any of the car nerds on here would even doubt their ability. I've driven them in 6/8/10" of snow before and have never had any issue--though I'm driving a 4Motion Golf.
Just put a set of DWS06's on my Golf R. They are good and comfy and have "enough" grip but definitely not as grippy as the summer tires they replaced.
The DWS 06 Contis are very good. I run them on my daily year-round and have had zero complaints with them. They are very good for the money and a good chunk cheaper than the Michelins, though they have been creeping up a bit in price over the last few years
I liked Continental DWS06s on my G37 for the street.... they were quiet and had squishy sidewalls for comfort but were grippy AF.
My regular DWS06’s were amazing in the snow last winter.
I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.
I normally use Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Golf and while they still have more than enough legal tread, I don't believe they're optimum for hardpacked snow. Unfortunately, there's a waitlist for new Nokians, so I'm going with Continental Wintercontacts, which have a sterling rating.
I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.
When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.
the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.
